Professional Experience

You’ll find Mike working on our website during the day, the night, during the sunrise, the sunset, during the lunch break, and on his favourite holiday. True leadership comes from one’s dedication first.

His passions begin with online casinos and games, go through web design and structure, and all the way to content management.

Mike’s certifications and degrees were once just the start of his learning journey, as he continues to expand his know-how each day. He has a master's degree in Manufacturing, which helped him discover ERP systems and later led to his passion for digital marketing platforms in the gambling industry.

Specialties

Mike is a professional who knows the ins and outs of the entire gambling industry since he's been in it for so many years. He might not have his name as an author on many pages on this website, but trust us when we say, he overlooks them all!

However, his experience and knowledge are strongest about Finland and Sweden as gambling markets, and he thoroughly explored how gambling platforms operate there. He knows all about the casinos in Finland and this and beyond about the gambling websites in Sweden.

Q&A with Mike

1 What was the inspiration for you to create CasinoWow?

After co-founding and selling one of Europe's biggest casino affiliates in 2017, I had a clear picture of what the industry was missing: "A genuinely player-first platform built around trust, honest reviews, responsible gambling, and real expertise." CasinoWow was my answer to that gap. Not just another affiliate site, but something players could actually rely on.

2 With 20+ years in iGaming, what's the biggest change you've seen in the industry?

The industry was genuinely the wild west in the early days with very few rules and very little accountability. The biggest shift I've seen is regulation and licensing tightening across the board. It was necessary, but in many cases it happened too fast and without enough thought. Plenty of countries still have weak frameworks that aren't really protecting players the way they should. The work isn't done, and that's exactly why platforms like CasinoWow matter.

3 What does responsible gambling mean to CasinoWow in practice?

For us it starts with how we evaluate casinos. Responsible gambling isn't a checkbox, it's built into our review and ranking process. We look at what tools operators actually offer players, how accessible those tools are, and whether they meet regulatory standards. Beyond that, we run campaigns and produce content specifically designed to help players make safer, more informed decisions.
